Star Trek - Six degrees of Separation

Recommended Posts

It would have been easy to cheat with this one; James Stewart starred with Cary Grant in the Philadelphia story and I could have used your data from there.

 

James Stewart was in The Shootist with Ron Howard

RH was in (and directed) Night Shift with Michael Keaton

MK was in Batman with Kim Basinger

KB was in LA Confidential with James Cromwell

JC was Zefram Cochran in First Contact

 

Here's a challenge: Angela Lansbury with No Murder She Wrote guest appearances.

Woody Allen wrote and directed Sounds From The Town I Love which starred Bebe Neuwirth

Bebe Neuwirth guested on Fraser with Brent Spiner

 

If you don't want to include directing credits then:

 

Woody Allen was in The Curse of the Jade Scorpion with Helen Hunt

Helen Hunt was on Mad About You which Brent Spiner guested on

 

How about Catherine Zeta-Jones

CZ Jones costarred with Julia Roberts - America's Sweethearts

PS wasn't Bebe Neuwirth in an episode of TNG - wasn't she the one that tried to seduce Riker saying she always wanted to make love to an alien

 

 

 

How about Mark Harmon

Yes she was. An earlier poster had suggested not making the link to a Trek actor as someone guesting on one of the series since so many great actors have appeared so I went a different route. Now movies that's another story:

 

Mark Harmon was in The Last Supper and Original Sins with Ron Perlman

Ron Perlman was in Nemesis

 

How about Adam Sandler

That was way too easy - Paul Newman was in Fat Man & Little Boy with Dwight Schultz who played Robert Oppenheimer

 

Instead how about Ben Stiller

See, that's just too easy

 

Linda Hamilton - Armin Shimermann, Beauty and the Beast

Armin Shimermann - guest actor on TNG

 

How about Pierce Brosnan to Jonathan Frakes?

"moderator voice" I think we should just go back to linking a name to any Trek actor. Some actors don't have enough credits to be able to link them well. I also liked the idea of linking them other than as a guest star on any Trek series.

 

I continue with Bridget Fonda linked to Trek only:

 

Bridget Fonda was in Lake Placid with Bill Pullman

Bill Pulman was in Independence Day with Brent Spiner

 

 

Let's try: Pamela Anderson

Here's a new one to try:

 

Ice-T

OK both Ice-T and Whoopi Goldberg were both hosts of Mad TV...

ICe-T in 1995, and Whoopi in 1996

 

 

 

OK, how about Alex Trebek(Not just a game show host if you follow my way of coming up with this one...) and if you decide to give up I will post my answer later...

not so bad

 

alex trebec had a cameo in white men cant jump (rosie perez went on jeopardy)

with woody harrelson

woody harelson and demi more in indecent proposal

demi moor and whoopi goldberg in ghost

 

i cant recal if wesley snipes had a movie with whoopi goldberg which woulda made it 2 degrees...but whatever works

 

oh and the iceT thing was kinda wishy washy

 

ice T and chris rock in newjack city

chris rock and danny glover in lethal weapon 4

danny glover and whoopi in the color purple

I know it was wishy wsahy but when I was thinking my answer up I was not thinking straight(VERY tired)

 

Actually the way you came up with the answer to Alex Trebek was great... for those who want to know how I put them toegether(I just gotta share)

 

Alex Trebek was a Men In Black on XFiles with David Duchovny

DD was in Kalifornia with Michelle Forbes

Michelle Forbes was Ensign Ro, but since she was only a guest star....you can either stop there or think(slightly wishy washy as well if you want to) that she was also a guest Star on the Outer Limits(like fellow Guest actor DWight Schultz) and the following regular TNG actors also have appeared on the same show: Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn

Pat Sajak is easy

 

He appeared in Airplane! II: The Sequel, and William Shatner was in the same movie as well as the Enterprise NCC 1701 or the 1701-A(when he looks through the periscope)

 

OK, how about Johnathan Pryce??

Unicorn Hunter- Can you give us a hint?

I've spent ages on this but can't get anywhere.  Oh, well better than doing my work.

Ted Raimi probably gained immortality in fan-dom as Joxer in the Xena series. Before that he was on Seaquest - which has direct ST links; William Shatner and Tim Russ both guest starred.

 

He also had a role in Spiderman - which you may have noticed was directed by older brother Sam Raimi.

 

Trying to think of someone who won't be either too hard or too easy is hard.

 

How about Christopher Gorham - we haven't done that have we?
